1960's

A Memory of Llanddulas.

My parents owned the Sea Shell Cafe....a local haunt for all teens with frothy coffee & a great juke box. Also the newsagent over the road and a B&B.
I had a lovely childhood growing up here.

I'm an author living in France. I write historical fiction novels about the occupation of France during WWII. Currently, I'm involved with a biography, which is in its early stages. This short extract may be of interest:
'The landscaped development housed a large number of caravans and mobile homes on a tiered incline overlooking the Irish Sea at Llanddulas. It soon became a popular retreat for aspiring middle class families from Cheshire and the Greater Manchester area. After several visits, he realised he had become one of several disgruntled teenagers whose future holidays would be spent admiring the grey, western expanse of Liverpool Bay. A coffee bar in the local village became their watering hole. A frothy coffee machine and a jukebox oozing rock and roll music offered the only form of entertainment. In the late fifties, early sixties this was paradise; he was hooked. Long weekends and the summer months spent on the North Wales coastline added a new and exciting dimension to his life.' © James R.
